A little girl is with her father in a rickshaw playing with an old doll. They are waiting while the mother is across the street speaking to the girl's teacher. She returns to the rickshaw and throws her bag getting on and commands the rickshaw driver "Lets go" angrily.

The father nervously asks her what the teacher said about their darling daughter. The mother shouts at the little girl to sit properly and says "Your darling daughter is not interested in studying, its all because you pamper her and have spoilt her. I wonder where her mind is all day. Foolish girl!"

The little girl looks very sad. It's not her fault. She is a victim of malnutrition.

Children who are slow in understanding, who tire easily or fall sick frequently suffer from malnutrition in their infancy.

Malnutrition is lack of right nutrition. A child is specially most prone to the dangers of malnutrition from the time of its conception till two years of its age which is very important period for the overall growth. Today, nearly every second child in India is a victim of malnutrition. It means they are physically and mentally weak due to which they are targets to many ailments, deformities, disabilities and allergies affecting normal growth mentally and physically. So we should jointly wage a war against malnutrition.
